OK, so this movie got a lot of really bad reviews. First, because it's Megan Fox. Are you really gonna rate the movie 1/10 because you have some personal issues about Megan Fox? Grow up. Is it because she can't act? She did just fine in this movie.
Second, people give it 1/10 stars because she could easily get out of the cuffs. Because, apparently you can cut off an arm with a little piece of a glass. Try cutting an apple with a piece of glass. You did it? Great. Now you've made it to the bone. And regardless, ever heard of suspension of disbelief?
This movie has a great premise. A life or death game set up by a vengeful husband, filled with careful plans and symbolism. After the game is set, the wife explores all the different ways she could try to get out of current situation, only to find out that the husband sabotaged all means of escape.
After that, the two antagonists are introduced, which leads to a game of cat and mouse, that's always shifting and changing. Couple of moments were a bit overdone for suspense, but mostly it was exciting and interesting, even funny in a few scenes.
The final showdown was ok, nothing too exciting. CGI was the weakest point. Fake breath in the cold was working half the time and was very light. I don't think anyone working on this movie ever experienced winter outside the house.
Overall, very fun movie, premise is excellent and intriguing, and the meat of the chase was entertaining. Yeah, it's not gonna win Oscars, but can you watch a movie for fun? This one is good fun.
